Hmm, yeah, I will think about it in the design. I agree, if it can be used on other part, it will be better for sure.

So it's under my radar to have something like that in the implementation. Btw, thanks for your comments in the Google Doc. Those two ideas are interesting and should be implemented somehow in the future. But as you said, perhaps it's too much for the GSoC proposal :). I can't promise, but who knows what will happen in the future :) I can only add that I am also happy that Ismail would like to > participate in GSoC and I hope this proposal will get accepted because > the proposal looks great. Thanks for your help and guidance, Martin :) Best regards On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 2:39 PM Martin Dobias <wonder...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 1:11 PM Nyall Dawson <nyall.daw...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > On Mon, 1 Apr 2019 at 20:28, Ismail Sunni <imajimat...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > Dear QGIS developers, > > > > > > My name is Ismail Sunni, I am from Indonesia.
